Sleep. I've already shot Dan an email.

Another email from Dan:

Quote:

As we're making progress right now on the life support, maybe accessing the higher levels of the site is least of our priorities right now. I'll inform you soon once we make further progress. Also, tell your experts team that they can personally email me, too as long as they can keep what's happening in this facility a secret (or else we may need to wipe their memories) I just didn't want things to choke on you as you try to address your experts questions for me. Daniel Miller Board of Director, FAILTECH

I wasn't sure if he'd mind anyone else having his email, but apparently he is happy to share it, so feel free to contact Dan at dan.millerSPLATfailtechnologies.com

Heh - just got an OOG email from the PM:

Quote:

Hi! This is the PM, although we really appreciate the very active community working on and participating in the FAILTECH ARG, we need to remind you guys to kinda tone down the login attempts. We've noticed a HUGE spike a few moments ago. We don't want to upset our hosting provider and make them feel we're causing DDOS on their servers. We don't want the site to be taken down (without notice) by our provider (although we don't think they might, we just don't want to risk it) and may halt the game until we could negotiate with our provider. Thank you and please relay this to the members of the community. Tell them we say thank you for the very enthusiastic active participation. FAILTECH ARG Team

Yeah... May want to cool it a bit on the password spamming, I don't think brute force access is good for the PM's site

Edit: Yep, it's back up

Just emailed Dan an update, saying

Should we focus on getting into level 5 at this point? We think the other transcript provides a major clue as to the password, and are working on it now.

[duke9509]

I tried:

theresnopassword
there'snopassword
there's no password (Firefox seems to accept spaces in the password)
password
nopassword
(literally just left it blank)

None of which worked.

EDIT: Hey! I just had an idea! LAINSY turned the password for the last one on its head right? Well, maybe the same goes here! Start trying stuff like thereisapassword (didn't work)!

Hmm.... Is it time for the waiting game again? Figuring out the Level 5 Password while Daniel tries to get into the Life support system?

Sure, yeah - I'll put up the last few emails now.

I sent:

Quote:

It looks like Genus has been accessing FTP servers and has left some evidence for us to follow - but we'll need a password to get in. It also looks like there's some kind of joke around the level 5 password 'having no password'...

To which he replied what I put above. I then sent:

Quote:

Did Genus have access to the LMAO project? We noticed that his access was denied via the FTP server, was he removed from it for any reason?

and am waiting upon a reply.

[duke9509]

Message that I tried to send before you sent your email, but was booted out by you guys posting:

Hey, GoC?

Since there's so much going on right now, when you send this particular email message, could you copy/paste it onto this thread? Just so we have a point of reference?

Thanks in advance.

[Minz]

We should also keep working on the level 5 password since levels 5 and 6 are accessible now.
From the calltranscripts in 4, i'm gussing the new password is something like
"thereisnopassword" or "leaveblank"
( not spoilering these since they dont work )
